Since fire occurrence continues to be rather high in the state, a need for intensifying fire investi gations has long been felt. After recommendations from the Legis lative Forest Fire Study Commit tee this year, the General Assem bly made possible the assignment of two SLED agents to this task. The two assigned by SLED are Lieut. Kenneth Brown and Agent Rochelle Boyle. Brown and Boyle are working with Commission of Forestry per sonnel in the Newberry District, Other law enforcement officers, magistrates, game wardens, high way patrolmen, and others to in tensify fire law enforcement and investigation. The law enforce ment school is another step of the intensified program. When needed, additional SLED personnel and facilities, such as bloodhounds, chemical laboratory, lie detector and airplane, will be used. This will be very valuable in bringing about the apprehen sion of forest arsonists. The Newberry District Law-En forcement School is being held at the VFW Hut. This training of forest fire, investigating personnel should help to improve the pro tective service to woodland own ers. NSLI Holders Are Urged To Convert World War II veterans holding GI life insurance might do well to ponder the experience of neatly 20,000 veterans of World War I who didn’t convert their term poli cies to permanent GI insurance. ^ That’s the advice of, J. E. Smith, Contact Officer of the Veterans Administration Regional Office, Columbia. Having carried their term GI policies through as many as se\t*n renewals, these 20,000 World War I veterans now face an almost in soluble problem, Mr. Smith said. Averaging 62 years of age, with their earnings generally declining, they are finding the renewal cost of their term policies so high that many of them are being forced to drop their GI insurance. Even those who can afford to renew currently may not be able to do so in another five years, Smith pointed out. He said that World War II vet erans can avoid the dilemma of their older comrades by conyert- ing to permanent GI insurance. The initial cost of permanent in surance is higher than term, but the premium rates do not in crease. In addition, Smith explained, permanent GI insurance has a cash surrender, extended insur ance, paid up insurance, and loan value. I'erm insurance has none- of these. Information about conversion of' GI insurance policies is available at the Veterans Administration Regional Office in Columbia.
